This sounds similar to a problem I have. I was also first thinking the clips
from the camera was mjpeg but I found a tool AVIcodec telling me the exact
codec and that codec is already installed on my computer, as expected
Sorry for the spam but I repost my message here again and again in case
anyone finds it interesting:
This is my problem:
I have no audio in the AVI from a digital camera on Win Vista Business 64
bit while the same file plays fine on Win XP Sp2 32 bit
I have investigated this:
The camera is a Konica Minolta DiMage E500 Digital Camera and it produces
AVI video files and it has a built in microphone. On Win XP SP2 32 bit I am
able to hear the audio from the AVI in windows media player 11. I can hear
other audio in the computer as well. Audio from other camera brands can be
heard too.
On Windows Vista Business 64 bit I can also hear audio from other sources. I
can hear audio from other digital cameras but not the audio from Konica
Minolta DiMage E500 AVI files. Both on Win XP and Win Vista when I play the
file and take properties the info displays dash '-' for audio and video
codec. In Windows Explorer taking file properties the Audio codec displayed
is "CCIT u-LAW" on Win XP but Win Vista will not reveal the codec.
With help of the AVIcodec tool version 1.2 (http://avicodec.duby.info/) I
have found that the AVI from the Konica contains sound of the CCITT u-Law
codec consistent with the file properties of Wndows Explorer under Win XP 32
bit.
Both my Win XP SP2 32bit and Win Vista Business 64bit has the same version
of this codec version "4.0 .0" according to the AVIcodec tool.
However other AVI related components are of different versions:
Win XP SP2 32bit:
AVI Decompressor: 6.05.2600.2749
AVI Draw: 6.05.2600.2749
AVI Mux: 6.05.2600.2180
AVI Splitter: 6.05.2600.2749
AVI/WAV File Source: 6.05.2600.2749
Win Vista Business 64bit
AVI Decompressor: 6.06.6000.16386
AVI Draw: 6.06.6000.16386
AVI Mux: 6.06.6000.16386
AVI Splitter: 6.06.6000.16386
AVI/WAV File Source: 6.06.6000.16386
Alternative 1.
So either my Konica Minolta AVI is not complient to the CCIT codec but since
it works on Win XP I don't beleive so.
Alternative 2.
There is a problem in the Windows Vista AVI splitters etc.
Is there anything I could do?
